I apologize if I've asked this before. I got a quad of Gold Lion KT77's and while the sound is great, it's also realllllly analytical. Like I'm hearing an assembly of musicians, all in the same room, but it's not that kind of amorphis "song" that I'm used to hearing. It's not exactly "off-putting", but it's distracting in a way I've not felt before. So is this a good thing or a bad thing? I mean, I used to just enjoy big loud speakers that were super dynamic. Then I stepped into some more neutral speakers and started getting into the nuance of the music. So maybe this is another step in another direction? I hesitate to use the term "better" or what have you.
Anyway, I'm wondering if this might be because I'm running these KT77's towards the bottom of the suggested bias for my amp. Manual states 3.5 to 4.0mv. I've read that 77's bias high. Should I be pushing them toward that higher end? Because I've also heard that running the lowest bias you can get away with preserves tube life.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
